Photography Techniques

Although you won't be able to capture the perfect pet photo in one day, there are some things you can do to improve your photos without spending a lot of money.

Find Good Lighting

It's a basic tip for photography, but it is especially important when taking photos of your pet. When you use your flash to take photos of animals, there is a reflective layer that many animals have. This can make them look eerie. You should take your photo outdoors, in bright sunlight or in a well-lit area.

Watch That Nose!

Your pet's eyes are the most expressive part of their face. Pet owners often focus on the nose instead of the eyes. Your pet's nose may be adorable, but if your camera focuses on the nose, it can cause blurred eyes. Dogs with long noses are more likely to experience this unfortunate effect. Take photos of your pet with clear eyes.

Go To Your Pet's Level

How does your pet see the world? This perspective can make your photos more whimsical. How can you get the pet's eye-view in your photos? Simply crouch down or lie down to get your camera at their level.

Get Some Props

Your pet is already a cute little cutie-pie. How cute would your pet be if they had accessories? Although most pets don't like funny hats as much as we do, there are many creative ways to use props in your photos.

Simple Commands To Teach Your Pet

It is difficult to get your pet to cooperate when taking quality photos. This can be made easier by teaching your simple pet commands. You should be prepared to give your pet lots of treats!

"Look At Me"

You should start teaching your pet "Look at me" as a basic command. It teaches your pet how to focus on you. This will allow you to get a better shot of your pet's face. If they are looking at you, they are likely looking at the camera.

"Sit"

Before taking their picture, teach them "Sit". You can get your pet to sit if you can get them to do so. It can also make your pet's portrait look elegant if they sit down. This command works best for dogs, but every animal is unique. Positive reinforcement is a good option if your pet responds well.

"Stay"

It's great to get your pet to stay still. But it would be even more satisfying if they stayed still for a longer time. This is what the "stay command" does. This command teaches your pet how to stay in place, even when you are a few steps away. This lets you try out different shots, and your pet won't run.

"Beg"

It is easy to teach "Beg" Your pet will paw at you regardless of whether you ask. As long as a treat is in their hands, they will likely start to paw at you. This command will help you get your pet's attention when taking their picture. They also love reaching out for their treats! This command is also possible for cats.

If you want your image to be engraved in crystal, don't go crazy with the camera angle. 3D is not always a good option for dramatic overhead shots.

Let Your Pet Take The Lead.

You have tried everything and still cannot get your four-legged friend to cooperate. That's ok! It's possible to still take amazing photos of your pet. It's up to you to do things your way.

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em

Although you can find many great tips from professional pet photographers via Google, there is one thing they all agree upon: don't force your pet to do something. You can capture your pet's personality and expressions by taking a picture of them being just you. Although it may require extra patience and time, the end result will be worth it.

Take A Running Shot

The backyard can be a distraction for pets. It can be a good thing for taking candid photos. Your pet will be so distracted by their play that they won't notice your camera. Let your pet run away from you to get dynamic action shots. When you are several feet apart, let your pet run toward you and call them back.

Play With Your Pet

It might be time for your pet's favorite toys to play with if you have trouble taking a quality photo of them. It's a great way for your pet to be entertained and get a good photo.

Catch Them At Naptime

The best way to capture your pet sitting still and acting naturally is to take a picture of them while they are sleeping. Be sure to not wake them!

Bring In Some Reinforcements

A friend can help you get great photos of your pet. These are some great shots that might require the assistance of a third party. You should ensure that the person you choose is familiar with your pet.

Keep The Pet

Asking a friend to hold your pet for a picture might be the best thing to do if they are ok being picked up. It shouldn't appear like your pet is being held down. If your pet is having trouble getting away, you should take a break and try another approach.

Block The Escape Route

A friend or family member can help you keep your pet still while you take a photo. If your friend cannot stop your pet's wandering, they can help.

Keep The Treats Coming

You only have two hands and can reward your pet with treats. While you take the photo, ask a friend for some of your pet's favorite treats.

Use A Leash

There's an easy way to get rid of a leash if you don't want it in your photograph. We agree that photo editing tools can be used to remove the leash. 3D Crystal Gift designers will remove any background from your photo when uploading it. This ensures that your crystal's focal point remains your pet's photo.
